Nigel Collin
CSP, MBA
NSW, AUSTRALIANigel's expertise is in how to grow a business through effective and incremental change, how to implement those changes and most importantly how to measure whether the changes are successful or not.
Nigel's message is simple. Business success is a 'Game of Inches' and not a one off event. 99% of successes come from many small, practical steps rather than the single 'Eureka' idea.
In 2013, armed with a video camera, Nigel set out on an initiative to travel throughout Australia, solo on his motorbike, to discover ingenious Australians and share their stories. As an ambassador of Start-up Australia he has interviewed over 50 of Australia's top entrepreneurs and business leaders.
This unique research, along with his own business experience led Nigel to distill their actions and behaviours into an achievable process for everyday innovation and incremental improvement.
Nigel sold his first business at the age of 21, built one of Australia's largest and most successful entertainment design companies. He is a TED-xer, Alumni of the Disney Institute and author of 2 books, with a third on the way.
What audiences take away from Nigel's presentations:
- An achievable process for everyday innovation and improvement
- Learn and apply the actions and behaviours of successful businesses and leaders
- Be inspired by stories of successful everyday Australians
- Take away at least three practical actions
- Receive a workbook (.pdf) for each session to inspire action after your event
- Ensure your conference message is heard and that people stay engaged
Conference MC/Facilitator:
As a conference facilitator and MC part of Nigel's uniqueness is tying together the experiences, themes and key messages of the event with the right blend of facilitation, workshops or keynote address. Having spent over 20 years in business events he understands the importance of not just being engaging, but delivering practical and lasting business benefits.
